[QUOTE="Fred Weinberg, post: 3105311, member: 86437"]It's not a Chain Strike or a Mated Pair (a Mated Pair would be a coin struck on a coin or planchet together, overlapping, at the same time.) Although it looks like it matches up, a true Chain Strike would have a flat area on both coins where they were 'touching' in the collar when struck. The two flat areas on the edges of each piece would match perfectly with lettering/detail from coin # 1 & #2 flowing and matching up. You can see where both coins are curved (as they normally would be) where the lettering seems to be part of the same (strike) coin; if they were, those edges would be flat, and not round. A nice coincidence, but not a Chain Strike error. (my opinion)[/QUOTE]
